----------------------------------------
Summary: Improve LICENSE/NOTICE compliance with ASF guidance
Key: CASSANDRA-16550
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16550
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ben Bromhead
Assignee: Ben Bromhead
PRs on GitHub:
[https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/943]
[https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/944]
A number of issues were identified with our LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files,
specifically related to identifing bundled source and their respective licenses
in accordance with ASF guidance
([https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html]).
*LICENSE.txt*
We don't specifically identify the licenses of a number of bundled components
included with the source distro of Apache Cassandra in our License file in
accordance with ([https://infra.apache.org/licensing-howto.html]). Specifically:
# src/java/org/apache/cassandra/index/sasi/utils/AbstractIterator.java
# src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/LongTimSort.java
# src/java/org/apache/cassandra/index/sasi/utils/trie/Cursor.java
# test/resources/tokenization/adventures_of_huckleberry_finn_mark_twain.txt
# content in doc/source/data_modeling/
Note: src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/vint/VIntCoding.java makes reference
of borrowing ideas from Google Protocol Buffers.
I'm not sure if this is code, concepts or a reference to the concepts in the
documentation for an understanding of the idea. I've included it as its a
compatible licenses to be on the safe side.
I've also removed the reference to the lib/ folder as this license (as I
understand) currently applies to the source release rather than convenience
binaries.
*NOTICE.txt*
Removing references for dependencies that are not bundled (e.g. pulled in
dynamically).
Bundled dep src/java/org/apache/cassandra/utils/LongTimSort.java uses ALv2 but
is not owned by ASF so providing attribution.
